This is true. In college we had some guys training for fights through my schools martial arts club and we used the garbage bag sauna suit.
Today there was a guy curling in the squat rack, and I needed to do my front squats. I asked him if he could move so I could do front squats, and he said “sure”. I hit a front squat PR. We both lived happily ever after, the end.
yesterday i just happened to be walking through the womens only section of my gym. i have to go through there to get to the changeroom.
anyway there was a giant woman, sitting on a swiss ball. she had another, smaller swiss ball on her lap, and she was sitting there slapping it like a drum. she was doing it on my way into the changeroom, and still doing it when i was on my way out.

Maybe she’s trying to please our future overlords.

She was concentrating on the rhythmic sounds coming off of the ball… What a waste… Sadly, they’re everywhere.

There are a few women at my gym that sit on a swiss ball and all they do is bounce up and down on it. For a good 5 minutes or so at the least. They then wipe their foreheads and proceed to the dumb bell rack… pick up 5 lb dumbells and do the rest of their work out with those. I hang my head in shame for them.

I might have to actually experience this next year (well, next school year). Oh well.

well you certainly can’t workout without smelling nice. it just wouldn’t work.
^^^ irritates me to no end. I played high school ball with a couple guys who would gel their hair before the game…what is the fascination with looking like your ready to go bar hopping while doing something physically demanding???

Haha theres a group of guys that I see from time to time at my gym who show up in jeans, hair gelled up and chains on every body part they can manage to get one around.

Half the guys at my boxing gym are trying to make weight at any given time: you can always spot them by their full sweatsuits (pants and a hoodie) with the black line of garbage bag sticking out of the neck.
This is usually while it’s upwards of 30 c in the joint and the rest of us are training in beaters and shorts.
Dedication.

maybe it was to help stimulate her to keep her chest out and resist caving in. i might have to offer my help to some female squatters with my new found technique. thanks for the tip! why didnt Thibs think of that first![/quote]
Sounds like a good spot to me. When my wife & I trained together that’s exactly how I spotted her on heavy sets, except I kept my hands about an inch off, which of course, meant a lot of incidental contact. My wife is very buxom so there was no faking it like it was a chest spot.
3 kids using 2 flat benches…they move on to decline bench, leaving a mess of plates all around the benches they were using, and leaving plates on both bars. H$M approaches:
H$M: “You can’t just leave that shit around for someone else to pick up” points to mess of plates
Kid: “Huh, what stuff?”
H$M: “The plates lying all over the ground” points again
Kid “Oh…ok…” goes and re-racks mess of plates
Seriously, these kids worked up to “spotted” singles of 225, so why the hell did they leave 35’s, dimes, nickels and 45’s lying everywhere? This shit pissed me off.
On a positive note, I got to help out a kid with a horribly rounded spine doing BB rows, and him and his buddies were very receptive to the pointers I gave them.
